What's sad is that a movie like The Interview probably gave many Asian American actors a movie role. They didn't get to play the "hero" but you know, they got work. (A) Asians in Hollywood never get the hero role (shout out to Harold and Kumar though...) and (B) maybe if Hollywood actually employed more diverse voices, such as Asian Americans, in the production side of things, someone would have said years ago "hey Rogan, you know what? This movie is a really bad idea...here's why. Here's how we can make it better..."
I think some white studio hauncho (Pascal I think) actually asked Rogan to tame down the KJU head explosion/lit on fire scene. And his response was "Why?! You want North Korea to win?!" Or some such bro dude, white privilege response. But maybe if there were more diverse voices on the production someone could have laid out why this is culturally insensitive or bad based on the real world situation in NK or whatever.
How would The Interview look if instead being made by a bunch of white people, was made by a bunch of Asian Americans? Would it turn out the same or would or turn out different? Would that difference, if any, negate the current backlash?
Apparently the movie featured a peace deal between Israel and Palestine over a falafel prepared by Guy Fieri! Yes The Interview has Guy Fieri broker a Middle East peace deal.
